City Faces Limits on Help for Defense Housing Units
At a special meeting Mayor Donald B. Rice and the Board of Aldermen failed to decide on municipal services forDefense Housing areas in Frederick. Frederick is designated a critical defense housing area with 200 rental and 50 sales units approved. Utilities and street extensions to undeveloped sections are in question. The city cannot extend all services due to finances though a policy decision is hoped soon. Last year bonds were issued for improvements to developed areas not touching many proposed units, and lawmakers warned federal aid may be needed to meet service demands.

Double Reversal By Reds in Korea Armistice Talks
In Munsan Korea Communist negotiators reversed course in a joint act with the Allies offering to limit troop movements to 250 per month under an air armistice plan and granting Chinese administration of a demilitarized zone. They resisted constraints on covert troop movements within the armistice buffer while previously agreeing to 5 000 US troops. The Allies sought a larger pace of 2500 per month while the Reds indicated Chinese would stay out of northern buffer zone administration.

Extra Curricular Duties Weigh On Maryland Governor
